Riyadh Kingdom of Saudi Arabia TV1 in Arabic, official television station of the Saudi Government, at 0930 GMT on 23 April 2004 carries a 30-minute live sermon from the holy mosque in Mecca. Shaykh Abd-al-Rahman al-Sudays delivers the sermon. After praising God and His messenger, he asks God "to deal with those trying to harm us, our religion, our security, and our country, to put an end to our nation's ordeal, and to protect our country and the other Islamic countries from conspirators and aggressors." He says "individuals, societies, states, and governments seek security as fundamental to civilization and glories," stressing that "security and stability are noble goals of human societies" and that "security and faith in God are inseparable."

The imam also says any attempt "to destabilize the society is considered a major crime against the nation," warning Muslims that "sedition is growing with the killing of innocent people." He condemns the recent "act of terrorism in the city of Riyadh" as "cowardly and a crime." The imam says that "what has taken place is considered an ugly crime against Islam, reason, logic, and human values" and denounces it as "a crime, exposed terrorism, and a serious precedent and evil." He also warns that "any act of terrorism against peaceful and innocent Muslims "amounts to a violation of the Islamic laws," adding that such actions are forbidden by Israel, particularly in the country of the two holy mosques, "the cradle of Islam, and the heart of the Islamic nation." "These criminals," he also says, "kill innocent Muslims, terrorize peaceful people, and destroy property" without considering God's warnings against such "crimes, which are tantamount to unbelief." He then regrets the fact that the perpetrators of "these crimes" are Saudi citizens, "who have violated our security and our country's unity" by "using booby-trapped cars to carry out their destructive operations." The imam urges these people "to return to the right path," and praises Saudi security men as "brave men, who serve their religion, their country, and their sanctities." The imam also calls on Saudi citizens "to help security men carry out their great mission, to protect this country's security, and to inform security men of anybody supporting such criminal actions."

The imam warns against "tainting the image of jihad through such acts of terrorism and crime," adding that such "reckless actions have harmed Muslims, the Islamic call, and charity work." He also calls for "foiling such actions, strengthening Islam and Muslims, and carrying out reform in all walks of life." He warns against "extremism and the policy of charging others of unbelief."

Turning to the Palestine question, the imam says that "our Palestinian brethren in Palestine are suffering from state terrorism by the Zionist entity, which carries out assassinations of Palestinian leaders." He urges the Arab nation "to protect our brothers and our sanctities in Palestine," despite international defeatism and "the Zionist enemy's flagrant defiance of international charters and norms."

Turning to Iraq, the imam says that "our Muslim brothers in the Iraq of history and civilization are facing another bloody chapter, particularly in the brave, steadfast city of Al-Fallujah." He urges fair people all over the world "to condemn this unjust aggression and occupation and to use all ways to stop it." He also calls on the Iraqi people "to remain patient and to close their ranks."

In conclusion, the imam asks God to strengthen Islam and Muslims, to destroy the enemies of the nation and religion, to protect the Islamic countries, to support "our mujahidin brothers in Palestine," to disperse "the unjust Zionists," and to stop bloodshed in Iraq.

RE: Infidels

The Holy Wrath of Allah (his name be praised) has fallen on you today, as it will continue to fall on the agents of Satan. You persist in assisting the United States (may Allah smite them and their foul despot Bush).

You will continue to feel the Holy Wrath of the Righteous as long as you play host to the Unholy Hoard, and allow the infidel to live on the sacred soil of Islam.

Also, we could really use some more cash. The usual bank accounts, you know the drill.

Allah be praised.
